Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Table 1 contains the data from a patient satisfaction survey for a group of 25 randomly selected patients at a hospital. In addition to satisfaction, data were collected on patient age and an index that measured the severity of illness. (a) Fit a linear regression model relating satisfaction to patient age. (b) Test for significance of regression. (c) What portion of the total variability is accounted for by the regressor variable age?

14 A survey is conducted to determine whether would prefer to work at home, if given the 20 office employees of a certain company chance. The overall results are shown in the first bar graph, and the results broken down by gender are presented in the second. a. Interpret the results of each graph. b. Discuss the added value in including gen- der in the second bar graph. (The second bar graph in this problem is called a side by side bar graph and is often used to show results broken down by two or more variables.) c. Compare the side by side bar graph with the two pie charts that you made for Question 6. Which of the two methods is best for comparing two groups, in your opinion? A Would you prefer to work at home? (n=20) 60 50 40 Percent 20 30 20 30 10 0 No Yes Prefer to work at home? (10 males, 10 females) 80 Percent 60 00 40 40 20- No Yes No Yes Female Male
